Most MAGA folk are libertarians by any other name. For them FREEDOM is freedom from gun regulation joined by book banning anti-WOKEers. They don’t know or care about how the Federalist Society, or the Heritage Society oppose their “rights” and prerogatives. They regard such “information” as propaganda - that is, left wing lies crafted to control them. Again, as an other impingement upon their Marlboro Man freedoms. This is the political meaning of “Don’t Tread on me.” Liberal democracy is loosing the propaganda war, the information war and the free market of ideas premise of our 18th Century democracy is being overwhelmed by billionaire alliances working hard to cease political power and political control of federal agencies and embedded administrative powers. The unspeakable rapidly is becoming political fact. Yes, MAGA populism and billionaire oligarchs have become bedfellows, each seeking political power to satisfy their separate ends. This is how our constitutional federal government ends. It’s not something the Adam Smith mindset can grasp. Tell me i exaggerate. I only wish.

The discussion of alleged missing Motherhood should be linked to economics. That's because families could afford a home on one salary back in the 1950s and 1960s. One of the hidden drivers of Feminism was the rising costs of living which necessitated that both parents work in order to afford the American dream of home ownership and children who could afford to attend college. There has been a decisive attack on the Middle Class. A very educated librarian I met in California explained it this way: that if there is a strong middle class with educated children, it poses threats to that upper class that has ruled for hundreds of years. Also missing from this conversation is the German Model pivoted on the use of a scapegoat population (in that case it was Jews) to assuage the anger of low -income blue collar workers. In India, the Caste system holds a near parallel role. These models of oppression follow pre-existing templates. Only the names change.
I recall another side of the picture from the "top down" perspective. It's from an interview of Nicholas Rockefeller by the late film maker Aaron Russo. Rockefeller told Russo that he and his uber-wealthy cohorts welcomed women's lib because it would open up the "other half" of the U.S. for capitalist exploitation. Part of the interview went as follows [quote]: “[Nicholas] was at the house one night and he asked me what I thought Women’s liberation was about. I had conventional thinking so I said women having the right to work and having equal pay with men. He started to laugh and said there are two reasons: 1) We funded this movement to get more women into the workforce and now we can tax them and stimulate the economy. 2) We can control them in the offices, schools, and in life. We can break up the family structure and the government becomes the family structure.” [unquote]
THANK you for this. I learned a lot. And appreciate being introduced to Theda. Subscribed & "liked" ya'll. In my opinion (I'm not a social scientist; just a Boomer). Another reason woman stared working & ,leaving the "home" was marriages became less stable. Men left spouses more often, withdrew from their roles as Fathers, abused spouses more often (usually with impunity). Also, there was no financial equity in the relationship; essentially creating a parent (Men: I have control of the money) - child/dependent (Spouse: I need $ for the house & children). Men had valued a spouse's contributions to the family, but starting in the '60s, that began to change dramatically. I was there: I saw & then, lived it
By publishing the document, as well as engaging in political activity, The Heritage Foundation is in violation of the IRS code for 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organizations. As a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization and BBB Wise Giving Alliance-accredited charity, it is funded by donations from private individuals, corporations, and charitable foundations and is NOT required to disclose its donors and donations under the current laws that guide tax-deductible organizations.
That's interesting but do you think Democrats would he able to confront this in court, where you must swear on a Bible and then attack a 'religious' organization??
All you have to do is a call it a “social and economic policy”. Anything can be politicized. With a broad enough definition you could say the same for any organization that promotes DEI, gender theory, and racial equity as engaging in political action.
@@saintantoine2113 Actually, you don’t have swear on a Bible. If you request a different book on spirituality, they will allow you to swear on that book.
Many organizations on the right have tax exempt status, like churches. Religion is politically weaponized by the right, and they are promoting/endorsing the most un christian dogma to their flock and against their neighbours.
Oh, they are talking about it, this is a Democrat wet dream, talking about a 900 page proposal almost no Republican has ever even heard of. It's a lousy strategy, voters don't care. Normal voters don't care. All I see with Project 2025 is a whole lot of hard core progressives who are already solidly voting Democrat, panicking and sending this thing back and forth to one another. You don't change undecided minds that way.
Nobody coming from Harvard is brilliant anymore. It's been decades since anyone brilliant came from there. They're only being indoctrinated and taught how to seem smart. Harvard has produced generations of people who are only good at self-aggrandization, pontificating, and over-complicating everything to the point that anyone who listens to them can't get anything done. I bought a new battery at Sam's Club the other day for our twenty year old SUV and the people who work in the automotive department freaked out on how fast I was able to swap it out with the old one. I had the old one out and the new one in before the guy could roll a cart out there to see how I was doing. My children rebuild engines and transmissions and fix machines that others have given up on. My oldest son bought a trailer load of "junk non-running" lawnmowers for $200 yesterday, and within fifteen minutes of pulling into our yard with them, all but one of them was ready to mow grass. I doubt if most Harvard post-graduates could change a light bulb by themselves. Sorry I was only able to make myself listen to the first four minutes and fifty-five seconds of your 'brilliant' video. I made the highest grade in Louisiana on the 1976 PSAT/NMSQT and I still tend to be just a bit attention deficit when it comes to beef sewage. The people in this Country who are still actually able to DO SOMETHING are voting for Donald Trump. The rest of you who only seem smart should vote blue if you believe in the platform.
I am neither a Republican nor Democrat, but stopped voting 3rd party after Bush Jr. got voted into office. The only time I've ever voted Republican was when I voted in the primaries to try to keep Trump off the ballot. I feel like if more people had figured that out we would have been successful. I thought I was pretty well educated/informed on politics, but it seems like I've only started hearing about 2025 in the last month or so. This interview was very enlightening, many thanks, and thank you to my aunt, who texted it to me and asked that I just listen to the first part (I've now listened to the full interview twice).

@@gregbailey45: my husband has been deceased for over three years now. I remember the very first I heard "Take America Back." I looked at my husband and said "how far back?"
Someone needs to ask whatever politician says "We're taking the country back..." this question: Back to what, back to when? And it's implied that "they" once possessed the country. When was that?
Why? they are being paid off NOT TO! Trump grifted massively during his tenure, domestically and internationally, so he has the money to control the media. Just my opinion (allegedly, for legal reasons)
The implications of a second Trump presidency are terrifying for those of us outside of the US, and we have almost no say in the matter. Thank you for providing educational material to help raise awareness. The world literally hangs in the balance.
Very interesting history and progression. I saw movement in this direction in the late 80s & 90s as people became more “me” oriented and competitive. I blamed that on the business culture, only caring about oneself. But as a country we’ve become less community-oriented and more narcissistic. Trump is the ultimate narcissist.
It began with the end of the Vietnam war. The Military Industrial Complex wanted the war to continue but through a freer press, people got to see the reality of war and stopped it. They knew they needed to muzzle the press and once again present endless war as patriotic. They found that if the used TV or Hollywood personalities as candidates, they could garner a large segment of the vote through simple name and face recognition. Then they did their best to present their policies as aligning with a macho patriotic slant and present the opponents as unmanly. For many this worked. Then they presented opponents as enemy and adopted the policy of never answering questions but continually repeating talking points. This strategy was fully established under Bush Senior and fine tuned by panels of psychologists. When I pointed out all this years ago, people said I was nuts. Now people are beginning to see and I sure hope it is not too late.

Well this explains a lot of why there was so little help for single mothers, I was in that boat. The way many men in and out of the workplace treated women was abhorrable.
Yep. Fortunately that is beginning to change and there will be families again instead of the contagion of single mothers/fathers and babies shredded in the wombs. #Dr. Kermit Gosnell
Janine Shapiro got a DV pilot started in the late 70's that became law in the early 80's. Every woman I knew were being beat up regularly. If the Cops were called, they couldnt do anything bc there were no laws. Prior to this, Women went missing all the time. Women were murdered a lot & no one was prosecuted. Men in charge. With the change in laws & technology, things have changed.

Thank you, Molly, for producing this series on Project 2025. I was just about ready to create a college-like course schedule for myself to digest the 900+ pages of Project 2025 to educate myself about the possible threats lurking within that textbook-sized document. I was delighted when I heard about this Project 2025 series through your appearance on Al Franken's podcast with Mark Leibovich. Once I heard that even Donald Trump was distancing himself from Project 2025, my Spidey senses started to tingle. I can't believe the far-right wing nuts actually had the balls to telegraph their evil plans. I hope more people will learn about the damage Project 2025 can do if Trump manages to get himself re-elected once again. It's a scary time in our country's history, but I trust that we can prevail and secure our democracy and freedoms. Thanks again for all you do to spread the word!
Molly Jong Fast is always incredibly incisive with her commentary and questions, and this is another example of that. Thank you for introducing Theda Skocpol who so eloquently and accurately describes the machinations of the corruption and transformation of the republican party.
We are experiencing something with the Right that has been in the works for decades. Not that they knew exactly how it would play out, but they did have a long-range plan, broadly speaking. A little here and a little there, until before you know it, they're a force to be reckoned with. For instance, imagine you have a car and you keep changing a part here and there until the car is really no longer the original car but it was done so subtly that you didn't realize the car was being rebuilt into a new car. On the other hand, the Left wants change but they want it NOW. They just want a new car. When half the country is conservative, such change does not work. It is a reality that many don't like and it lacks long-term strategy. It is a difficult situation. In any event, we are in the midst of the maelstrom and Trump must be defeated. Regarding the D-Day movie references, as somewhat of an historian, I was posting about this more than a year ago. A vote for Trump is a vote that those young men died for nothing (as we are now becoming the enemy we once fought). And, by the way, the German downfall wasn't pretty and ours won't be either if we fall to Trump and the MAGA cult. Ironically, the people voting for Trump think they're patriots. That's really the brilliance behind his movement. He has convinced millions of people to be the opposite of patriots while thinking they're patriots.
True. The Green Party has been making the same mistake since the 1990s. Run a futile presidential race instead of focusing down ballot where they could get seats and influence policy. There’s useless political theater instead of a long term plan.
Not enough people are talking about "Bad Faith," which is a very good documentary that highlights the roles that Paul Weyrich and his 2001 manifesto play in the incremental development of Project 2025.
She really knows what she is talking about. It is enlightening. You have to deal with reality. I have 50 years in civil rights. I tell people just what she said "You do not want to know what I know." The reason: Your reality will be forever changed when you learn what is really going on financially, psychologically, and politically.
Thank you for putting this on TH-cam for free. It has such vitally important information that it should be available to everyone. I have seen you on MSNBC and have found your articles interesting. I will look into your podcast. All of this is so overwhelming. I have been feeling for a long time that, in order to understand any of this (which is important since we vote) we need to study it full time. And find accurate, factual resources. Most of us just do not have the time. So we rely on you and others in the news media. Please continue to help us navigate these crazy waters.
It's a good idea. We need a list. At the very least it will focus attention on who are the billionaires pulling the strings and this would also help spread the message of what their plans are.
All this far right agenda is designed to stop people cooperating with each other. Partisan, Racist, Religious, Economic, Gendered. It's not soviet or maoist "neighbour informs on neighbour", or 1984 control of information. It's neighbour hates neighbour, partner hates partner, employee hates employee, patient hates doctor, anti solidarity. Using the "free" individual to destroy opposition, so those with wealth and power can take whatever they want. This divide and rule is as old as the first colonists, the core of the confederacy, and the motivation behind Jim Crow and segregation.

Former President Donald Trump says he knows “nothing about” a conservative policy blueprint and has “no idea who is behind it.” But the authors include Trump’s former Cabinet secretaries, top White House officials and senior aides - including former Trump appointees to EPA, the Interior Department and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.
Stephen Miller bears a striking resemblance to Joseph Goebbels and Roy Cohn. He also reminds me of the sadistic prison guard in the movie “The Green Mile.”

How do we get to this point about project 2025? We never had any discussions about politics or religion because it was considered in polite. We were all caught up in cancel culture. We were too involved with culture issues that didn't really matter.
Another brilliant, scary episode! It seems the biggest takeaway is that we need to have more organizing at the community level to make sure they DON'T have the schools, the election workers, the legislature, or any other apparatus of power. If we could get dark money out of politics, it might free up grass roots donations to support more collective, trusted media/journalism that people can learn more about what's going on
This info is so important for all Americans to be aware of. Keep up the good work, & continue spreading the message. I look forward to the next episode.
If you haven't done it yet, you should talk to Barbara J. Walter. She has a short TED talk on civil war on TH-cam, and a book that goes into that topic in much more detail. Very worth watching and reading.

I used to attend an Evangelical Church, but did not join due to the policy that members had to align themselves with predestination beliefs. I remember them pushing missionary projects. How bizarre that they are so against immigrants now when they used to at least pretend to care about and quasi support them.

Or worse than bullying, it's gangsterism: "It would be a shame if something were to happen to your beautiful family because of your stubbornness."
All this stuff in P2025 is more scarier than anything I can dream in my worst nightmare. Must be STOPPED at all costs.
Other than a small portion of the Republican party, exactly who do you think is going to vote for this? If neither Congress nor the president likes the project exactly how do you think it's a threat? It is good for fear mongering and that's about all you got.

The discussion of alleged missing Motherhood should be linked to economics. That's because families could afford a home on one salary back in the 1950s and 1960s. One of the hidden drivers of Feminism was the rising costs of living which necessitated that both parents work in order to afford the American dream of home ownership and children who could afford to attend college.
There has been a decisive attack on the Middle Class. A very educated librarian I met in California explained it this way: that if there is a strong middle class with educated children, it poses threats to that upper class that has ruled for hundreds of years.
Also missing from this conversation is the German Model pivoted on the use of a scapegoat population (in that case it was Jews) to assuage the anger of low -income blue collar workers. In India, the Caste system holds a near parallel role.
These models of oppression follow pre-existing templates. Only the names change.
Its called human nature! 😕😪
Well said.
I recall another side of the picture from the "top down" perspective. It's from an interview of Nicholas Rockefeller by the late film maker Aaron Russo. Rockefeller told Russo that he and his uber-wealthy cohorts welcomed women's lib because it would open up the "other half" of the U.S. for capitalist exploitation. Part of the interview went as follows [quote]:
“[Nicholas] was at the house one night and he asked me what I thought Women’s liberation was about. I had conventional thinking so I said women having the right to work and having equal pay with men.
He started to laugh and said there are two reasons: 1) We funded this movement to get more women into the workforce and now we can tax them and stimulate the economy. 2) We can control them in the offices, schools, and in life. We can break up the family structure and the government becomes the family structure.” [unquote]

THANK you for this. I learned a lot. And appreciate being introduced to Theda. Subscribed & "liked" ya'll. In my opinion (I'm not a social scientist; just a Boomer). Another reason woman stared working & ,leaving the "home" was marriages became less stable. Men left spouses more often, withdrew from their roles as Fathers, abused spouses more often (usually with impunity). Also, there was no financial equity in the relationship; essentially creating a parent (Men: I have control of the money) - child/dependent (Spouse: I need $ for the house & children). Men had valued a spouse's contributions to the family, but starting in the '60s, that began to change dramatically. I was there: I saw & then, lived it
Yes, thank you Molly for sharing this unsettling news about this project. This was very helpful. ❤
fascinating, and terrifying. thank you for these in-depth pieces!!!
By publishing the document, as well as engaging in political activity, The Heritage Foundation is in violation of the IRS code for 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organizations. As a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization and BBB Wise Giving Alliance-accredited charity, it is funded by donations from private individuals, corporations, and charitable foundations and is NOT required to disclose its donors and donations under the current laws that guide tax-deductible organizations.
That's interesting but do you think Democrats would he able to confront this in court, where you must swear on a Bible and then attack a 'religious' organization??
All you have to do is a call it a “social and economic policy”. Anything can be politicized. With a broad enough definition you could say the same for any organization that promotes DEI, gender theory, and racial equity as engaging in political action.
@@saintantoine2113
Actually, you don’t have swear on a Bible. If you request a different book on spirituality, they will allow you to swear on that book.
There are so many rules and laws that are totally ignored it makes me wonder how this can happen 🤔
Many organizations on the right have tax exempt status, like churches. Religion is politically weaponized by the right, and they are promoting/endorsing the most un christian dogma to their flock and against their neighbours.
Listen, Like and Share. PROJECT 2025. TALK ABOUT IT. LIVES MATTER
Oh, they are talking about it, this is a Democrat wet dream, talking about a 900 page proposal almost no Republican has ever even heard of. It's a lousy strategy, voters don't care. Normal voters don't care. All I see with Project 2025 is a whole lot of hard core progressives who are already solidly voting Democrat, panicking and sending this thing back and forth to one another. You don't change undecided minds that way.
Theda Skocpol is brilliant and has such a great grasp on the serious situation we're in right now.
Nobody coming from Harvard is brilliant anymore. It's been decades since anyone brilliant came from there. They're only being indoctrinated and taught how to seem smart. Harvard has produced generations of people who are only good at self-aggrandization, pontificating, and over-complicating everything to the point that anyone who listens to them can't get anything done. I bought a new battery at Sam's Club the other day for our twenty year old SUV and the people who work in the automotive department freaked out on how fast I was able to swap it out with the old one. I had the old one out and the new one in before the guy could roll a cart out there to see how I was doing. My children rebuild engines and transmissions and fix machines that others have given up on. My oldest son bought a trailer load of "junk non-running" lawnmowers for $200 yesterday, and within fifteen minutes of pulling into our yard with them, all but one of them was ready to mow grass. I doubt if most Harvard post-graduates could change a light bulb by themselves.
Sorry I was only able to make myself listen to the first four minutes and fifty-five seconds of your 'brilliant' video. I made the highest grade in Louisiana on the 1976 PSAT/NMSQT and I still tend to be just a bit attention deficit when it comes to beef sewage.
The people in this Country who are still actually able to DO SOMETHING are voting for Donald Trump. The rest of you who only seem smart should vote blue if you believe in the platform.
Excellent episode!
Theda was fantastic.
I thank you both very much for speaking out

I am neither a Republican nor Democrat, but stopped voting 3rd party after Bush Jr. got voted into office.
The only time I've ever voted Republican was when I voted in the primaries to try to keep Trump off the ballot. I feel like if more people had figured that out we would have been successful.
I thought I was pretty well educated/informed on politics, but it seems like I've only started hearing about 2025 in the last month or so. This interview was very enlightening, many thanks, and thank you to my aunt, who texted it to me and asked that I just listen to the first part (I've now listened to the full interview twice).

One of the best explanations of the far right movement that I've heard. New follower here and I am passing this along.
Very interesting history and progression. I saw movement in this direction in the late 80s & 90s as people became more “me” oriented and competitive. I blamed that on the business culture, only caring about oneself. But as a country we’ve become less community-oriented and more narcissistic. Trump is the ultimate narcissist.
It began with the end of the Vietnam war. The Military Industrial Complex wanted the war to continue but through a freer press, people got to see the reality of war and stopped it. They knew they needed to muzzle the press and once again present endless war as patriotic. They found that if the used TV or Hollywood personalities as candidates, they could garner a large segment of the vote through simple name and face recognition. Then they did their best to present their policies as aligning with a macho patriotic slant and present the opponents as unmanly. For many this worked. Then they presented opponents as enemy and adopted the policy of never answering questions but continually repeating talking points. This strategy was fully established under Bush Senior and fine tuned by panels of psychologists. When I pointed out all this years ago, people said I was nuts. Now people are beginning to see and I sure hope it is not too late.

Thank you, Molly, for producing this series on Project 2025. I was just about ready to create a college-like course schedule for myself to digest the 900+ pages of Project 2025 to educate myself about the possible threats lurking within that textbook-sized document. I was delighted when I heard about this Project 2025 series through your appearance on Al Franken's podcast with Mark Leibovich. Once I heard that even Donald Trump was distancing himself from Project 2025, my Spidey senses started to tingle. I can't believe the far-right wing nuts actually had the balls to telegraph their evil plans. I hope more people will learn about the damage Project 2025 can do if Trump manages to get himself re-elected once again. It's a scary time in our country's history, but I trust that we can prevail and secure our democracy and freedoms. Thanks again for all you do to spread the word!
Ms. Skocpol's scope of understanding is on a different level. Thank you for your take on things.
Thank you so much for this! Ignore the trolls on here. You're doing a great thing!
Thank you for sharing this critical information
Molly Jong Fast is always incredibly incisive with her commentary and questions, and this is another example of that. Thank you for introducing Theda Skocpol who so eloquently and accurately describes the machinations of the corruption and transformation of the republican party.
We are experiencing something with the Right that has been in the works for decades. Not that they knew exactly how it would play out, but they did have a long-range plan, broadly speaking. A little here and a little there, until before you know it, they're a force to be reckoned with. For instance, imagine you have a car and you keep changing a part here and there until the car is really no longer the original car but it was done so subtly that you didn't realize the car was being rebuilt into a new car. On the other hand, the Left wants change but they want it NOW. They just want a new car. When half the country is conservative, such change does not work. It is a reality that many don't like and it lacks long-term strategy. It is a difficult situation. In any event, we are in the midst of the maelstrom and Trump must be defeated. Regarding the D-Day movie references, as somewhat of an historian, I was posting about this more than a year ago. A vote for Trump is a vote that those young men died for nothing (as we are now becoming the enemy we once fought). And, by the way, the German downfall wasn't pretty and ours won't be either if we fall to Trump and the MAGA cult. Ironically, the people voting for Trump think they're patriots. That's really the brilliance behind his movement. He has convinced millions of people to be the opposite of patriots while thinking they're patriots.
True. The Green Party has been making the same mistake since the 1990s. Run a futile presidential race instead of focusing down ballot where they could get seats and influence policy. There’s useless political theater instead of a long term plan.
Excellent comment.. Very insightful.

All this far right agenda is designed to stop people cooperating with each other. Partisan, Racist, Religious, Economic, Gendered.
It's not soviet or maoist "neighbour informs on neighbour", or 1984 control of information. It's neighbour hates neighbour, partner hates partner, employee hates employee, patient hates doctor, anti solidarity. Using the "free" individual to destroy opposition, so those with wealth and power can take whatever they want. This divide and rule is as old as the first colonists, the core of the confederacy, and the motivation behind Jim Crow and segregation.

Former President Donald Trump says he knows “nothing about” a conservative policy blueprint and has “no idea who is behind it.”
But the authors include Trump’s former Cabinet secretaries, top White House officials and senior aides - including former Trump appointees to EPA, the Interior Department and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.

Skocpol is simply brilliant. An insightful, must-see analysis.
How do we get to this point about project 2025? We never had any discussions about politics or religion because it was considered in polite. We were all caught up in cancel culture. We were too involved with culture issues that didn't really matter.
It's been cooking since the 90's
Thank you Molly and guest this was very informative.
So, as a black man! Why is any of these topics of 2025 bad??? Love the background music, that adds to the rhetoric drama!!
Professor Skocpol is extremely informative and well-spoken about what is really going on with the Republican Party.
Another brilliant, scary episode! It seems the biggest takeaway is that we need to have more organizing at the community level to make sure they DON'T have the schools, the election workers, the legislature, or any other apparatus of power. If we could get dark money out of politics, it might free up grass roots donations to support more collective, trusted media/journalism that people can learn more about what's going on
This info is so important for all Americans to be aware of. Keep up the good work, & continue spreading the message. I look forward to the next episode.
